Difference between "Remove" and "Not interested"?
In the Questions for You Section there are two buttons to click beside the questions: either “Remove” or “Not interested”. As far as I can tell, they do the same thing—remove the question from the page! So what’s the difference?

I think remove, means not this time, and not interested tells Fluther that this type of question does not appeal to you. Which would in turn continue to aid it in figuring out what you WOULD like to see. :)
I think.
“Not interested” will teach Fluther that you don’t want more questions like that, whereas “remove” will not have any effect on the future questions you receive.
Hey Rich, I have a similar question. If you click on “Not Interested” does it delete the tags too, or does it just delete that one question but keep the tags? I know “Remove” keeps the tags, but gets rid of that question.. right?
@Allie:
How Fluther recommends things to you:
They combine the topics on your profile with the way you’ve used the site in the past; the topics of the questions you’ve asked, the topics of the questions you’ve answered, et cetera.
Selecting ‘Not Interested’:
If day-after-day you click on ‘not interested’ on political questions, Fluther will start to avoid recommending them to you.
Selecting ‘Remove’:
Fluther takes the question off the list, but in doing so does not effect the questions you will be recommend in the future.
I think this is what you meant… hope I’ve been helpful.
*recommended in the future
I think “remove” is when you really piss off the J.W.‘s at your door and “not interested” is the norm
